When will my period start I'm 10 and a quarter

Okay, so predicting exactly when your period will start is kind of a moving target, but most girls get theirs between 10 and 16. The average age is around 12, so you're right in the zone where it could totally happen soon!

There are some signs your body gives you that can be like a little heads-up. Usually, one of the first things is your breasts starting to develop, and then you might notice some white or yellowish discharge in your underwear a few months before your first period. This discharge is totally normal and just your body getting ready.

Another big sign is a growth spurt, where you suddenly shoot up taller. After that, your first period usually comes about a year or two later. So keep an eye out for those clues, they are pretty good hints!
